Chapter 285: Fishing with a Net

One by one, half a bucket slowly walked towards the center of the weir pond. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now, there are about 20 half-barrels in the entire weir pond, and my father and third uncle are also on one of them.

Of course, Li Fan is also on half a bucket, and he is even more relaxed and casual in operating this thing. In addition to Li Fan on the half bucket, there are also two bear children, Xiao Ya and Xiao Dong and Xiao Ping.

Li Fan was not going to let the three little guys come up, but the three little guys begged for a long time, and there was no danger, so Li Fan agreed.

Li Fan rowed half a bucket, and the three little guys lay on the edge of the half bucket, two hands into the water, letting the water run through their arms. From time to time, he also grabbed a handful of duckweed from the water and threw it far away, having a lot of fun.

Duckweed is a common floating plant in the weir pond, with symmetrical phylloids, green on the surface, light yellow or greenish white on the back, and some are purple. Nearly rounded, obovate or obovate-elliptic, entire.

Pieces of them float on the surface of the water, and a handful of them are grabbed as soon as they are grabbed.

Of course, not all water surfaces have duckweed. There is a water area of duckweed in the whole weir pond, which accounts for about two-tenths of the entire area.

You can clean up some of these duckweeds, you don't have to clean them all out.

About 20 and a half buckets were paddled back and forth on the water surface, and the aquatic plants, branches, bamboo poles, and some duckweed were quickly cleaned up.

Everyone went ashore one after another, and half a barrel was also brought ashore. Next is the most anticipated net fish.

In fact, people are often more interested in the process of netting fish than in eating fish. It's not just about netting fish, it's also about catching fish in other ways.

For example, after heavy rains, rivers and ditches are flooded, as well as in some farmlands. At this time, the bears, young people, and even the older people in the village will use the fence made of strips to catch fish through the gaps in the flowing water.

Place the fence flat or at a slight angle in the gap and fix it, and find some aquatic plants around it to form a circle.

Just by guarding the fence like this, from time to time there will be all kinds of fish, large and small, washed up on the fence by the flowing water, and you can catch fish directly on the fence.

The main reason why everyone is so interested in catching fish is to enjoy the process of catching fish, and the surprise of rushing out of a fish from time to time.

The same is true for fish in nets, when the nets are received from the shore and lifted, everyone is very excited to see the big and small fish jubilant in the nets.

Of course, in addition to this way of pulling nets to fish, there is also a common way of fishing, casting nets to catch fish.

Whenever a villager casts a net to fish in the weir pond with half a bucket, there will always be a group of people watching the excitement around the edge of the weir pond. When the fishing villagers collect the nets that have been cast down, and there are fish in them, it often attracts a burst of cheers from the people watching the excitement on the shore.

Li Fan: Naturally, what they have to do today is to pull the net to fish.

Dragnet fishing sometimes requires going into the water. Fortunately, it is mid-October, the weather is not cold, and everyone does not feel cold when they go into the water. If it's winter, it's a bit of a hassle.

This weir pond is too big, basically in a square shape, and one side is more than 80 meters. Therefore, the fishing net prepared by Li Fan is also super long, but it is not easy to pull such a long fishing net in the weir pond.

The net needs to be pulled from one side of the weir pond all the way down to the other side before the net is closed.

However, everyone was full of confidence and excitement. I've never pulled such a long net, and when this net comes up, how many fish must be in it?

Because the net is too long, the water in the weir pond is too deep, and the water depth reaches 5 meters. Therefore, before laying the net, it is necessary to tie some stones to the underwater side of the net, so that the net can sink to the bottom.

Of course, the stone should not be too heavy, just enough weight to sink the net to the bottom. If the stone is too heavy, Li Fan estimates that all the people here will not be able to pull it in the end.

"Everyone's paid attention, and it's starting to go to the net. After the stone was tied, Li Qi shouted and commanded everyone to go to the net.

The crowd chose to pull the net from south to north, because the shore of the weir pond in the north is relatively flat, which is convenient for loading fish after the net is lifted.

On the south side of the weir pond, the people slowly lowered the side of the net with stones tied to it into the water. After the net enters the water, it slowly sinks under the action of the stone.

After about a minute, it felt as if the net had sunk to the bottom. Li Qi shouted: "Go down to two people, check if there is any?"

"Okay! I'll go down. Two men said yes at the same time, then took off their shirts and pants to wear only a pair of underwear, and then one of them plunged into the water.

About two minutes later, the two surfaced, signaling that the net had all sunk to the bottom.

Next up is the dragnet. Before the net was launched, the rope was already tied.

There are 5 ropes tied at equal distances on the top and bottom of the net, each 100 meters long.

The four ropes at both ends of the net were pulled by four groups of people on the east and west banks of the weir pond respectively. The six ropes in the middle pass directly through the weir pond and are pulled by six groups of people standing on the north bank of the weir pond.

There are 10 ropes in the whole net, which are pulled by 10 groups of people, which is quite a spectacular scene.

There are more and more villagers watching around, and the villagers have never seen such a large net pulled. Many people simply join the team of pulling the net automatically. Although I used the strength to breastfeed, I felt quite enjoyable.

Fortunately, the net is not an ordinary net, otherwise such a pull would have been broken a long time ago.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the net began to move from south to north little by little.

"Haha! The crowd cheered. But everyone also knows that this is just the beginning, and the net will get heavier and heavier because there will be more and more fish in it.

......

Just when Li Fan and others were struggling to pull the net.

Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia have arrived at the entrance of Sansheng Village. Judging from the suitcases that the two were dragging, the two did not carry much.

"Old man, how much does it cost you to build these things so well?" Zhang Xia looked at the buildings at the entrance of the village, and after being surprised, she was very worried that Li Fan had spent so much money, and whether he would be able to make a profit at that time.

Zheng Jie was also slightly surprised, the last time he came, the construction had just started here, and he didn't expect it to be repaired so well. And looking at the structure of the building that is still under construction, the scale is obviously not small.

However, he is not worried about whether Li Fan can make money in the future. If you don't know what you're sure about, that kid will never do it.

He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him. Let's go inside, and you'll know if the pictures I took last time were a lie. ”

"I'm now convinced that you can already get a glimpse of the village just from the entrance of the village. Zhang Xia said. She now knows why Zheng Jie keeps talking about moving in.

Because, before she even entered the village, she already liked this place.

Zheng Jie smiled a little proudly when she heard Zhang Xia say this. I was about to enter the village, but when I turned my head, I suddenly found that there were two people sitting with their backs to them not far away, and their backs were very familiar.
